Cybersecurity Trends 2025: A UK Hiring Outlook Cybersecurity has taken centre stage in the UK this year. With threats growing more sophisticated and regulatory scrutiny tightening, businesses are investing heavily to protect their data, systems and people. As a result, demand for cyber professionals is climbing at pace, and the competition to secure top talent is intensifying. At Harvey Nash , we've seen cybersecurity evolve from a back-office concern to a boardroom priority. Over the past year, the nature of hiring has shifted. Employers are looking for more than just technical firepower. They want strategic thinkers who can embed security into every part of the organisation. 2025 feels like a turning point. The risks are greater, the stakes are higher, and the need for experienced, capable cyber talent is now critical. As a recruitment partner, our role is to help organisations understand what's happening in the market, and how to respond. At the same time, regulations are tightening. From data protection requirements to the Online Safety Act, organisations face growing pressure to demonstrate strong governance and accountability. For sectors like finance, healthcare, energy and the public sector, this is especially urgent. Digital transformation is also playing a role. As cloud adoption accelerates and hybrid working becomes the norm, the attack surface expands. New technologies bring incredible opportunities, but also introduce new risks. These combined forces are making cybersecurity talent one of the most sought-after resources in the UK job market today. Key Cybersecurity Trends Shaping the UK in 2025 To understand the hiring landscape, it's important to look at what's actually happening on the ground. Here are the key trends shaping the cybersecurity conversation this year. Ransomware remains a major threat Attackers are becoming more targeted, more professional and more damaging, according to the Nash Squared/Harvey Nash Digital Leadership Report organised crime remains the biggest concern for digital leaders. Public services, councils and healthcare providers continue to be high-profile victims. This is driving demand for security operations specialists, incident response teams and forensic analysts. Supply chain risk is under the spotlight Breaches linked to third-party providers have exposed vulnerabilities beyond company walls. In response, organisations are investing in governance, risk and compliance roles to help manage vendor relationships and strengthen oversight. AI is creating both opportunities and risks Artificial intelligence is helping defenders automate responses and improve detection. But it is also giving attackers new tools to generate phishing emails, create deepfakes or even write malicious code. Employers are starting to look for professionals who understand how to manage this emerging risk. Data privacy is more important than ever The UK Information Commissioner's Office is taking a more assertive stance on enforcement, particularly around how customer data is stored and shared. This has led to growing interest in privacy-focused roles, especially in data-heavy sectors like retail and financial services. Zero Trust architecture is gaining traction Many organisations are moving towards a Zero Trust approach, where nobody inside or outside the network is trusted by default. This model requires specialists who understand identity management, access control and modern network design. Cloud misconfigurations are still causing problems Despite advances in tooling, simple mistakes in cloud setup continue to be a leading cause of breaches. This has made cloud security engineers essential, particularly those who can work closely with DevOps teams. Human error remains a challenge People are still at the heart of many breaches, whether through phishing, mis clicks or insider mistakes. Employers are increasingly focused on awareness, behaviour and building a culture of shared responsibility across their teams. The Most In-Demand Cybersecurity Roles for 2025 The hiring market is being shaped by a push for resilience, agility and long-term thinking. Cybersecurity has emerged as the third most in-demand skill, with talent shortages up 6% on last year. These cyber focused roles are seeing consistent demand across the UK: SOC Analyst - Specialists who monitor threats, investigate incidents and act as the first line of defence. Typical salary: £40,000 to £60,000 Cloud Security Engineer - Experts in building and securing infrastructure in AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. Typical salary: £70,000 to £100,000 GRC Specialist - Professionals who align security with risk, compliance and governance frameworks. Typical salary: £60,000 to £90,000 IAM Lead - Focused on identity and access management, a vital area as companies adopt Zero Trust models. Typical salary: £65,000 to £95,000 DevSecOps Engineer - Combining development, operations and embedded security across the software lifecycle. Typical salary: £75,000 to £110,000 Threat Intelligence Analyst - Providing real-time insight into evolving threats and advising on proactive measures. Typical salary: £50,000 to £85,000 Cybersecurity Analyst - A key all-rounder role, analysts monitor networks, investigate suspicious activity and support incident response efforts. They are often the first to identify and flag vulnerabilities. Typical salary: £45,000 to £70,000 We're also seeing new hybrid titles emerge, such as Cyber Risk Manager or AI Security Consultant, reflecting the broader integration of security across the business. The Skills Employers Are Prioritising Employers are looking for more than technical knowledge, they're searching for people who can make a real impact. Core technical skills include: Incident response and threat hunting Identity and access management Zero Trust architecture Familiarity with UK regulatory standards and NCSC guidance Certifications often requested: CISSP, CISM, CISA CompTIA Security+ ISO 27001 Cloud security credentials (e.g. AWS or Azure certification) Soft skills are playing a bigger role too: Strong communication, especially with non-technical stakeholders Problem-solving in fast-moving environments Adaptability and strategic thinking Security is no longer confined to the IT team. Cyber professionals need to work closely with legal, operations, HR and even marketing , making soft skills essential. Challenges in Hiring Cybersecurity Talent There is no shortage of demand, but there are still real barriers when it comes to finding the right people. There simply aren't enough candidates, particularly in areas like cloud security, GRC and threat analysis. Top talent is being snapped up quickly, often with multiple offers on the table. Hiring processes can be too slow or not well aligned with the role, leading to missed opportunities. Many employers struggle to assess technical capability, especially for niche roles. Cybersecurity professionals often need to be approached directly. Many are not actively applying for jobs, but may be open to a change if the role and organisation feel right. How Harvey Nash Supports Cybersecurity Recruitment At Harvey Nash, we have been supporting UK organisations with technology recruitment for over 35 years. Cybersecurity is now a fast-growing part of that journey. While this may be a newer specialism for us, we bring depth of experience, a broad talent network and a reputation for delivering results. We focus on understanding what makes each organisation unique, and tailoring our approach to find people who not only match the job description, but align with culture, values and long-term goals.

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, it's a board-level priority and a key pillar of operational resilience. The landscape is changing fast, and the organisations that succeed will be those that invest early in the right people. 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for cybersecurity hiring. Whether you're scaling up your team, building capability from scratch, or rethinking your security strategy, the right talent can make all the difference.

Core technical skills include: Incident response and threat hunting Identity and access management Zero Trust architecture Familiarity with UK regulatory standards and NCSC guidance Certifications often requested: CISSP, CISM, CISA CompTIA Security+ ISO 27001 Cloud security credentials (e.g. AWS or Azure certification) Soft skills are playing a bigger role too: Strong communication, especially with non-technical stakeholders Problem-solving in fast-moving environments Adaptability and strategic thinking Security is no longer confined to the IT team. Cyber professionals need to work closely with legal, operations, HR and even marketing , making soft skills essential. Challenges in Hiring Cybersecurity Talent There is no shortage of demand, but there are still real barriers when it comes to finding the right people. There simply aren't enough candidates, particularly in areas like cloud security, GRC and threat analysis. Top talent is being snapped up quickly, often with multiple offers on the table. Hiring processes can be too slow or not well aligned with the role, leading to missed opportunities. Many employers struggle to assess technical capability, especially for niche roles. Cybersecurity professionals often need to be approached directly. Many are not actively applying for jobs, but may be open to a change if the role and organisation feel right.
